Democrats: Republicans being for Jews is anti-Semitic, and being against Jews is anti-Semitic.

What Trump really said is some Jews are loyal to a Democrat party that tolerates and defends anti-Jewish and anti-Israel politicians. And that's exactly right.

No, what Trump REALLY said (his words) was that Jews who vote for Democrats are greatly disloyal. At first I thought he meant disloyal to the US. That would be an anti-semitic statement playing on past tropes questioning Jew's loyalty to the US.

Later, he stated that such Jews would be disloyal to Israel. Well, I should hope so! If they are American citizens their loyalty should lie with this country alone.

OK but if even Jews should not support Israel then who should? I don't think he meant more loyal to Israel or only loyal to Israel or less loyal to the US. Israel is suppose to be a close ally. That is just Democrats saying "dual loyality".

It was obvious to anyone what he meant. Don't pretend. And oh, btw, all American Jews have automatic citizenship to Israel if they choose to accept it by virtue of being Jewish ethnically.

All are dog whistles. If you don't think White Supremacists are Yuk Yuk all over the nation when they see this stuff, you haven't been following the narrative.

Every possible meme of anti-semitism has been floating out by the Right and Trump....at the same time they fake "we are the best friends of those jews".

It's like that old "I have lots of black friends so I'm not racist" thing. Even if one attended KKK meetings...they are not racists. It's just jews and catholics the KKK hates, not blacks!

No thinking person is buying any of this...of course, a large portion (bell curve) of Americans don't think, so this means little in terms of voting or anything.

Lol what dog whistle? Trump straight out said supporting Democrats is anti-Jewish and ant-Israel? And all that support the right provides Israel is just a cover for them secretly being anti-Semitic and white supremacist? That's a pretty far out conspiracy theory.

Israel was created in 1948, in the wake of the Holocaust, as a Jewish haven for all time. The Jewish people were stateless from 44 AD until 1948. It was realized after the Holocaust that the stateless approach didn't cut it.

Israel was created to a great extent through the efforts of US President Harry Truman, who prevailed upon the UN to make it happen. All Jews AND all Americans should feel loyalty towards Israel. Not without limit, of course, but even an American's loyalty to the US government isn't without limit.

What's the difference? You have already said you want to cram what you said were Jewish values down our throat. This is a Christian founded and majority country is the difference.

Read the 1st Amendment of the US Constitution. Not to mention that a number of the Founding Fathers were Deists.
